SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) and COMINT (Communications Intelligence) sensors are essential in modern aviation, enabling real-time interception, analysis, and geolocation of signals from communication systems, radar, and electronic devices. Deployed on aircraft and UAVs, these systems support military, security, and emergency operations by enhancing situational awareness across wide areas. In defense and reconnaissance, they detect adversary communications and radar, helping locate enemy forces and support tactical decisions. For border and coastal surveillance, they track illegal activities and unauthorized crossings. In counter-terrorism, systems like Leonardo Spider COMINT detect mobile and radio transmissions to disrupt threats and locate operational hubs. In search and rescue, solutions like ARTEMIS use signal triangulation to find missing individuals via beacon signals. During disasters, SIGINT sensors ensure communication continuity and monitor emergency networks. Their real-time capabilities and precision make them vital for mission success across civilian and military domains.
